Just found out that my grandfather had a bike, though I never knew. Can anyone identify what type of Honda this might be? This picture would have been taken in mid-to-late 70's. That also seems like a huge windshield. . .

Yeah, I thought it might be a 125 or 250. Engine looks remarkably similar (in this fuzzy photo) to the 250 on my Rebel.

New toys report! I am the proud first recipient of the new 2 into 1 exhaust system for the 950 ADV. I have been looking for an exhaust for a while, and it turns out Black Dog cycle work is just 45 minutes away from me, and they were getting ready to make the first 2 into 1 system for the adventure. I pop up, check things and, and decide its what I want. Month later, the very first pipes came in from the producer this morning, so I hopped on my bike and ran up to get mine, successfully beating every other customer in the world. Dumb, but I am happy. The bits and pieces  On the bike...  And video of before and after. http://www.vimeo.com/1482974

Decreasing radius turns are a bitch aren't they? I've been in a situation like that and what I've learned is that no matter what you think, you ALWAYS have more lean room. eggyolk fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Aug 8, 2008 |

Does he flip the bird at the end? That wouldn't make sense, since it was his fault.

Guy's brake lights ignite into the middle turn. If he would've accelerated he could have cleared it. But no, hello double yellow lines.

yeah that looks like the problem. he saw that he went into the turn too hot, but instead of holding throttle and leaning more, he hit the brakes, leading to a yet wider turn.

I'm pretty green and it's still a tough thing to overcome. You start to go wide and you need to force yourself to go faster, since imminent crash usually = hit the brakes.

It's a rally for bikes that stretches over track tarmac though lovely old/dirt roads then back on to tarmac etc. And it has a nightime section, from what i've read its pretty awesome. They're restricted to 100hp and people take every time of bike you can imagine, from hypermotards to zx10r's. Its pretty bitchen.
